Alpha's Regret: False Mate True Luna novel Chapter 45

The crowd suddenly became agitated, with surprised and questioning voices rising one after another.

Most people here were colleagues in the medical field who had heard of each other’s names to some extent, especially me-

“Dr. Windsor? No way.”

“She doesn’t look like that kind of person…”

Standing in the crowd, I could feel those gazes like sharp needles piercing my skin.

I had indeed gone to the restroom just now and placed my bag on the washstand.

But I never saw Ashley at all!

Just then, I heard familiar footsteps. Ferris and his group slowly walked over.

He surveyed the crowd, frowning slightly, his voice low: “What happened?”

Before I could speak, Ashley had already quickly walked to him, her voice tearful: “Ferris, the ring you gave me is missing…”

My heart sank heavily.

Ferris’s expression indeed changed. Although he hadn’t spoken yet, people around were already adding fuel to the fire.

Miss Carter said when the ring went missing, she was with Dr. Windsor.”

looked up, meeting the gazes cast from all directions, including his–Ferris’s.

n that instant, I detected the faint fragrance from his body now turning cold, like the wolf that had once leaped into my arms countless times, now roaring and aring its fangs at me.

My back tensed, and I instinctively held my breath.

Milo spoke up, his tone calm but unquestionable: “Isn’t there a mistake? Aurora would never take someone else’s things.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ferris’s eyes instantly turned cold, a sharp light flashing in the depths of his pupils.

stand still, my palms cold, yet my fingertips trembled slightly.

knew he wouldn’t believe me, but I didn’t expect he would push me to this extent in front of everyone.

Milo calmly smiled slightly, “I’ve always supported reason over relationships. If she really took it, then investigate; but if she didn’t, you’re humiliating a doctor.

Sounds nice.” Ferris chuckled lowly, his gaze falling directly on my face like a hunter staring at prey, “Then let’s check her things, guity or not, we’ll see soon nough.”

As his words fell, the air seemed to tighten, and silence surrounded us.

Milo smiled and said: “Alpha Ferris, I’ve always supported reason over relationships. Everything must be based on evidence.”

‘Evidence?”

Ferris rubbed his watch face, his gaze falling on my face, “If she didn’t take it, we’ll know by checking her things, right?”

Everyone fell silent.

Ashley lowered her gaze, a flash of triumphant smile in her eyes, then pretended to hesitate: “But it’s not right to publicly search someone’s personal belongings.”

He sneered. “Didn’t you say the ring was lost? Suspect someone, search them–is there a problem with that?”

“Alpha Ferris is right. A clear conscience fears no accusation.”

“Yes…”

My face instantly turned deathly pale, as if all blood had been drained from it.

This wasn’t just humiliation–this was blatantly trampling my dignity underfoot.

I took a deep breath, feeling my chest about to burst, yet still forced myself to raise my head, my voice cold and nearly calm: “Alpha Ferris, I didn’t take her ring.”

“If you didn’t take it, why are you afraid of being searched?”

His words were sharp, but his tone was very cold.

I couldn’t even refute it.

I wasn’t stupid. Ashley wouldn’t confirm the ring was in my bag without reason.
